Bazin with so many colors

Bazin is a cultural and traditional outfit close to wearing on every special day. It is made of cotton, damask or brocade fabric imported from West African countries. Bazin is part of West Africa and mostly comes from Mali. Since I was born I have to wear Bazin at every special event.  I wear  Bazin because it shows my culture, where I come from and as our ancestors say, it shows our beautiful men and women. Bazin is important to me because I grew up watching my people wear it on special days or times. And if you see anyone who is wearing Bazin, that means there are some special events,  but we mostly wear it at weddings, Eid, baby showers, and even parties. Also, there are a lot of different designs and so many colors.
